30 ♦ Message from Martin Glynn
Activity has been high this summer and fall at
the Association as we celebrated our 75th
Anniversary. We had 27 reunions over this
anniversary year, with many of them held
during Homecoming. We held
events at a number of branches
in North America and overseas,
and I had the pleasure of meeting with alumni in Hong Kong
recently. The sense of connection
to UBC is strong,and the level of
participation in the branch there
is impressive.
I also attended an event in
Victoria on November 23rd, and
was pleased to note the number of members of the
Legislative Assembly who are also members of the UBC
Alumni Association. You will find reports on many of our
branch, division and reunion events in this issue of The
Chronicle.
One of our key activities over the summer was working on the nomination process for the new chancellor. Our
nomination committee unanimously endorsed Robert Lee
for chancellor, and since no other candidates came forward, he is now chancellor-elect. Mr. Lee has a long
tradition of service to UBC, and it will be a privilege to
work with him in the coming years. You will find more
information on our new chancellor on page 9.
The university is moving ahead well on all fronts, but
there are some troubling issues on the horizon. The most
serious of these is the fact that the university turned
away more than 3,000 qualified applicants this year, with
other universities and colleges in B.C. experiencing similar
overcrowding. What exacerbates this problem is British
Columbia's chronically low post secondary participation
rate, which is second lowest nationally after Newfoundland.
Accessibility to post-secondary education will be an
important element in maintaining British Columbia's
economic strength over the long term, and is a key
challenge for the current provincial government which has,
as we all know, limited fiscal manoeuvrability.
Our ongoing discussions with the university on our
new working relationship are progressing well. An article
on page 1 7 outlines work to date.
I would like to thank our staff, board members and
volunteers for their hard work during this celebratory
year.

Robertson has taken a
deanship at the University
of Washington.
Boyd received her DDS
from the University of
Alberta in 1 969. After
graduation, she practised
dentistry with the Inuit in
the eastern Arctic and later
worked with children in the
Vancouver Metropolitan
Health Department.
She became a member
of the dental faculty in
1972. She teaches in the

Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council
(SSHRC) operating grants. It
received a total of
$356,000 for nine grants
during the 1992-1995 term.
Commerce grants
include work such as
William Ziemba's investigation of Japanese land and
stock prices, how Japanese
land prices affect the world
economy, and John Ries'
investigation of Japanese
foreign investment strategies in North America.
The faculty has been
ranked first by this scale
for four years running.
Second place this year was
Western, with grants totalling $312,000.

Armories
The UBC Armories is due for
demolition early in 1993 to
make way for a new creative
arts centre. In recent years the
building has been used as a
storage area and a makeshift
gym. During the war, though,
the Armories was the centre
of life for many UBC students.
Do you remember those
days? Some are suggesting
that a time capsule be put
together filled with memorabilia of the Armories from its
opening in 1941. Send us your
favorite story and/or memories, and we will pass them
along to the right people.
UBC Alumni Chronicle, Winter 1992 NEWS
World-renowned portraitist Cyril Leeper spent a month at Cecil
Green Park this September painting the official portrait of
outgoing Chancellor Les Peterson. Staff and volunteers got the
rare opportunity to watch a master at work, as the artist turned
the bare canvas into a dramatic work of art. Leeper, who
worked just outside our editorial offices in that part of Cecil
Green Park known as "The Minstrel's Gallery," claims that the
painting of Peterson is one of his best ever. We're no judge of
portrait art, but the painting certainly did look good to us. Dr.
Peterson is, as you can see, as pleased as can be. Leeper is off
to England soon to paint the official portraits of Queen Elizabeth
and Prince Andrew.

Message from David Strangway
Canadian universities have gone through some remark
able changes in the past 10 years. In the '60s and 70s,
UBC and other universities saw themselves as separate
from the rest of society, able to set their own agendas and
priorities. Many were seen as "ivory
towers," withdrawn from the harsh
realities ofthe world.
Those days, fortunately, are gone
forever. Now universities are reaching
out to alumni, government and the
broader society for support, direction
and funding. Because we are supported
by tuition fees and by taxpayers, we
have an obligation to keep the community up-to-date about what's happening
at this university.
What we seek from our alumni is informed support. Keeping a
dialogue between the university and its graduates is, to me, one ofthe
toughest challenges facing any alumni association. But the pattern of
alumni support has changed dramatically. Before, UBC's alumni could be
considered one homogeneous group. That's not the case any more. We
have a large group of senior grads, those who graduated forty and fifty
years ago, who relate strongly to the university they knew. We also have
a large group of recent grads who remain attached to UBC through their
specific school, faculty or club. Both these groups have boundless
enthusiasm for UBC, and they show it through attendance at reunions
and events, and through their support of our fundraising initiatives.
The most difficult group to reach is the one in the middle, those
grads who are raising families, keeping their careers moving and paying
the mortgage. They are the ones, because of their expectations for their
children, who have the greatest stake in UBC's future development. The
most successful alumni organizations are the ones that can keep that
group informed and involved.
The discussions we have had with the Alumni Association over the
past few months have been extremely valuable. It has been essential for
us to examine both our mutual and individual goals and expectations,
and to realign the fit. What UBC needs is an alumni association that
understands the overall goals of the university, and that designs its
programs to support them. There has never been any doubt that our
Alumni Association is fully supportive of UBC. We are developing
programs in tandem designed to involve more alumni in the university,
and are forging new links between Association staff and university
departments.
UBC, like all modern universities, changes to adapt to new challenges
and opportunities. Its graduates, who have a stake in maintaining a
strong, progressive university, must be informed, interested and
involved. The Alumni Association and UBC's administration are committed to working together to make that happen.

Homecoming
199 2
Homecoming week began in
grand campus tradition with
the Homecoming parade.
Pharmacy, Aggies and Engineers displayed their spirit in
time-honoured ways: the
Pharmacists threw pills, the
Aggies mocked the Engineers
and the Geers were their usual
rowdy selves. The Alumni
Association entered a vintage
limousine (courtesy of board
member Stan Knight) that led
the parade through campus
and dispensed alumni souvenirs along the way. Once
again, the Engineers won the
spirit award despite determined opposition.
Stan Knight stands ready to drive
his 1959 Cadillac limousine in the
Homecoming Parade.

Class
reunions
Alumni came from around the
world in record numbers this
year to participate in class
reunions. Each class has its
own unique set of UBC
memories defining their years
at UBC, but some themes run
throughout each: good people,
good memories and "good
heavens, you haven't changed
a bit."
These are some of the
classes that came together in
the fall of 1 992 to renew
friendships and toast the old
school.
The Class of '32
Gwendolyne (Hutton) Alcock
came from Australia for '32's
60th held on September 3rd.
Others came from California,
Ontario, Alberta and every
corner of B.C. The 44 attending members had lunch at
Cecil Green Park, toured UBC
by bus, then had a reception
hosted by President and Mrs.
Strangway. Reunion chairperson Tom Brown gave everyone
an opportunity to share
memories with their classmates. Mrs. Alcock said,
"Everywhere I go, I am known
and perceived as a woman
who is certainly old enough to
be a grandmother. But when I
spend time with all of you, I
am a girl again. You remember me as the young person I
was, and still am, at heart!"
The Class of 1942
'Forty-two grads celebrated 50
years with a dinner, a campus
bustourand lunch on the Homecoming weekend. Revellers sang
a rousing chorus of "Hail UBC"
and Elspeth (Munro) Gardner, an
active debater during her time
at UBC, delivered the toast:
"The UBC we knew is not the
UBC we see. Half a century ago
when we graduated in the Class
of '42, we left behind a village.
Now we are revisiting a town,
perhaps even a small city. Fifty
years ago as students we knew
every building and every corner
of our campus and its wide open
spaces. Tomorrow morning we
will take a guided bus tour to
discover just what is here. Back
in 1942 any one of us could
readily name all the faculties of
the university. This evening,
hardly any of us could do that.
Yes, the university has grown
and changed. But something
remains unchanged, something

that we who graduated in 1942
have in common with all those
graduates who came before us
and all those who have come after.
We have a kind of love for this
place, because for some very
important and unforgettable
years, the University of British
Columbia was the centre of our
young lives. We are all part of
theuniversity and the university
is a part of all of us. We hope
that it will long continue to flourish and to welcome back its graduates. To UBC."
'82 Medicine: With children,
golf clubs and ball gloves on
board, this class headed for
Whistler for a reception,
brunch, golf, dinner and dance
and a family picnic. The class
will do it again in five years.
'52 Applied Science: The
dinner at the Faculty Club on
September 1 2 and Sunday
brunch at the Golf Club were
declared resounding successes.
Thirty-five class members,
spouses and guests came from
as far away as Quebec and
California.

The Class of 1972 Law
In 1972, this class held a banquet at the Bayshore Inne
to mark the end of their years of UBC toil. When it came
time to toast the class, Wilson Rutherford rose and, defying
the refined behaviour of his peers, poured his beer into his
cowboy boot and drank to the health of his fellow classmates and the glory of their alma mater.
This year the class gathered at the Law Courts Inn.
Reunion chair Robert Hungerford spoke to the group and recalled the event as "the grossest thing I've ever witnessed."
Wilson Rutherford, who was there, rose, poured his wine into
his shoe and drank the contents, showing once again the
ageless relationship of lawyers, their feet and their mouths.
together for lunch at the new
Waterfront Centre Hotel on
September 1 9th and enjoyed
catching up with their fellow
grads.
'67 Rehab Medicine: Grads
came from all around including England and Ontario to
catch up on the past 2 5 years.
They were joined at their
dinner by four former instructors, and toured the School of
Rehab Medicine for an update
on new facilities.
'47 Applied Science: Dr.
Harry Warren, BA'26, BASc'27,
DSc'78 (Honorary) addressed
grads who came from as far
away as England, New York,
Massachusetts and Ontario.
Dr. Warren is their only
surviving prof. The group
enjoyed a wonderful evening
of reminiscing and sharing
stories at Cecil Green Park.
'52 Commerce: Together
again after 40 years, this class
enjoyed a wonderful evening
over dinner at the Faculty
Club in October. Six class
members travelled from
Ontario to be present. Plans
are afoot for a repeat in five
years.
'82 MBA: Sunset and a
salmon barbecue feted MBAs
at Cecil Green Park on October 9th. Grads came from
B.C., Ontario, Manitoba and
Alberta, and caught up with
each other and eight former
instructors.
'72 Medicine: Grads flocked
to Semi-ah-moo Resort in
Blaine in October for a
weekend of events that
included academic presentations by class members. One
observant grad noted that
attendees took seats in the
same classroom configuration
of 20 years ago! This class
lost one of its most respected
members, Dr. Geoffrey Cragg,
a month before its reunion.
'67 Medicine: The class
revived Friday Night Weepers
and held a series of weekend
events to bring them back in
touch with one another, the
Medical School and the
university. Everyone had so
much fun that the next
reunion is already being
planned with Hong Kong as
the venue! Class member and
Alumni Association stalwart
Dr. Anthony Cheng practices
in Hong Kong and has offered
to help with planning.
'67 Engineers: Known for
their stunts 2 5 years ago, the
engineers returned on October
23rd for a most civilized
reunion complete with a
classical quartet to entertain.
It was a wonderful evening of
conversation and mingling
with no shortage of storytelling for good measure.
Only lacking was a rousing
chorus of "We are, We are,
We are the Engineers..."
'72 Pharmacy: A very successful dinner was held on
October 24th with class
members in attendance from
all over B.C. A good time was
had by all, and plans are
already afoot for their next
reunion in five years.

Music Alumni Homecoming
Fifty-seven Music alumni,
spouses, family, faculty and
undergraduates took part in
Homecoming beginning with
the Arts '20 Relay. Some
participants even pushed
children in strollers to make
the race more challenging
(Katherine Headrick and her
daughter, Sally, and Grace
McNab and her son, Sai).
Conductor James
Fankhauser led The Chamber
Singers through a varied
program featuring several
arrangements by Cortland
Hultberg. La Chacuterie did a
fine job catering food for the
event.
The "bring your instrument back to UBC" portion of
the program was dropped due
to a lack of participants. Most
of our instrumentalists are
teachers, and September is a
difficult month for them. We
would like to re-schedule this
event for next August. Let us
know if you are interested.
The Music Alumni Division
is grateful for an event grant
from the President's Allocations Committee. Without an
operating budget it is difficult
to spread the word on events
to alumni; one mailing costs
us approximately $700.

together, call the Alumni
Association at (604) 822-3313

11 flew Division
Keeps
Retired Profs
in the Saddle
by Chris Petty
One afternoon in October, I attended a lecture on the
feminist interpretation of history. The room was full of
men and women with PhDs, and I expected a delightful
explosion. There's no heat quite like the heat that emanates from a learned discussion, especially when that discussion
promises contention.
Imagine my disappointment, then, when nothing at all
erupted except a string of interested questions, imagine, too, my
dismay when everyone clapped at the end in a display of obvious enjoyment. "Are they humans or are they PhDs," I wondered.
It turns out they're both. They are members of the Professors
Emeriti Division of the Alumni Association, and they were
gathered together for one of the four meetings they hold
annually. It would be hard to find a more interesting group of
men and women anywhere on campus and, fortunately, they
hold their meetings right here at Cecil Green Park.
Teaching After Retirement
Some retired professors still have access to office space on
campus, since many still lecture and conduct research. That
service is free, of course: people aged 65 and over are
required to retire at UBC. Robinson, for instance, gives 20
to 25 lectures a year for free. He says, "I like students, I like
teaching. I'm having fun. I don't need to be paid for it. I've
spent my entire working life doing something I loved. I told
them in my retirement speech that the truth is I would have
done it for nothing. Wisely, I told them that too late."
The current rule is that a person can lecture for pay for
only two years after retirement. The division, in its function
as advocate, is arguing for change. Administration agrees
in principle, but it will take more negotiations to change
the ruling.
Professors Emeriti Division

right, Lew Robinson,

The Professors Emeriti Division was the brainchild of three
retired UBC professors, Joe Katz, education, Robert Clark,
economics, and Lew Robinson, geography. One of their
motivations for forming a group was to gain access to the
university's medical and dental plans. Retired faculty were
dropped from the plan and were required to cover their own
medical and dental costs.
They got together early in 1988 to establish the group and
find a meeting space. Neither the Faculty Association nor the
administration was able to help, so Joe Katz approached the
Alumni Association. Since the Association already had a
structure that serviced organized groups (the Divisions'
Council), it was a natural fit. The Association altered its constitution to allow associate members, and the Professors Emeriti
Division was born.
Joe Katz died soon after he, Robinson and Clark organized
the first meeting of retired professors. "Joe was the driving
force behind the division," says Robinson. "He wrote the letters
and talked to everyone. He did it." Robinson carried on as
president of the new division.
Katz, Robinson and Clark thought it was important for
retired professors to have a meeting place on campus, a place
where they could talk to fellow scholars, meet with students,
study, read and work. They also felt strongly that retired
professors needed a voice, a group to lobby the university on
12
UBC Alumni Chronicle, Winter 1992 "The diuision is unique in that it prouides retired
faculty with an aduocacy uoice on campus and a
place in the affairs of the university."
their behalf. The Alumni Association has given the group access
to Cecil Green Park for meetings of its executives and for its
general meetings until permanent space can be found. Staff at
the Association provides limited office help such as typing and
distributing a newsletter. Says Clark, "We owe a debt of gratitude to the Alumni Association for providing us with a place to
meet, access to office functions and for the quality of service we
get. They are unfailingly good, regardless of whom we've had to
deal with."
But space is an ongoing problem. Offices at Cecil Green Park
are fully occupied, and except for the large meeting space on the
main floor, the division has limited access. The UBC administration has been working with the group to find permanent space
on campus, and there has been talk of opening up space in the
Grad Centre. But with UBC's current space crunch, there is no
easy solution.
Meanwhile, the group is flourishing. There are currently 315
members representing 70 different departments on campus.
They hold four meetings every year, and adhere to a simple
format. Each meeting begins with a half hour or more of socializing over coffee, then proceeds to the main event. One of the
members or invited guests presents a scholarly talk on a
research subject (such as the one I heard), or makes a presentation on a current or popular topic. Robert Clark, for instance,
who was an enthusiastic supporter of recent efforts to revise
the Canadian constitution, organized a panel discussion on the
Charlottetown Agreement. More than 70 people attended.
Although professors emeriti associations are commonplace
in the US, UBC's group is only the second in Canada. The first,
based at the University of Alberta, has far fewer members, and
another group at Western has mainly a social function. Robinson
put a note in the Canadian Association of University Teachers
bulletin about the UBC group and got inquiries from all over the
country.
There is a wealth of talent, ability and experience in the men
and women who have taught at our university. By welcoming
them and making space for them, we are enriching the university beyond measure. The UBC Professors Emeriti Division is
unique in that it provides retired faculty with an advocacy voice
on campus, and a place in the affairs of the university.
As Robert Clark says, "We are creating history."
Retired UBC professors interested in joining this division
should call Jorgen Dahlie, the division's current president, at
926-2077 or Robert Clark at 228-9799. *'

Private Medical Practice, specializing in Otolaryngology
Medical Superintendent ofthe Hong Kong Central Hospital
Born in Hong Kong, 1939
He remembers reading a newspaper in grade 8 or 9 that said
the most interesting thing in the universe is what's inside the
human body. He has always been interested in the structure of
the universe, and dates his interest in medicine to that time.
He chose to get a Canadian education because it offered a
happy medium between the very loose system in the U.S. and
the very regimented system in Britain.
Came here in 1 958 by freighter across the Pacific, then took the
train across Canada. Was impressed with the landscape.
Completed pre-med studies at Mount Alison in 1963.
He was accepted to medical school at Dalhousie, McGill and
UBC. He chose UBC because the father of a friend graduated
from here and said it was a good school.
Stayed in residence at St. Mark's in the early '60s with Father
Bauer and members ofthe national hockey team.
His first anatomy lecture from Professor Breedman began,
"Welcome to the world's second oldest profession." Breedman
developed in him the attitude that learning is a never ending
process.
He spent 5 years in residency at VGH, then returned to Hong
Kong and taught at Hong Kong University for two years.
He entered private practice in 1974.
He disliked the food served in residence, especially the mutton,
a dish they served once a week. On mutton days he would hitchhike to Chinatown for a good meal. One day he was picked up
by David and Dorothy Lam, talked with them all the way down
town and became life-long friends.
He served as president ofthe Hong Kong branch ofthe Alumni
Association, and is a member ofthe Board.
He has 5 children. Two are at university (Scotland and England),
and three are in private school in England.
Considers his greatest success and joy to be his family.

l cina Kirkness stands outside the Longhouse
constitution .sire.
he calling of a dream can be as loud as a drum or as gentle as a dusk-wind in a
grove of cedar. Strong or muted, the call is steady, moving thought and feeling towards
tangible form.
For the students, staff and administration of the First Nations House of Learning,
the dream has been calling since 1987 when the House of Learning was first established on campus. At that time, one of its objectives was "to establish a physical facility
(longhouse) on campus to enhance and support services to First Nations students." The
dream, shared by many at UBC and in the world beyond its borders, moved onto the
physical landscape in November 1991, when construction of the Longhouse began.
Slated for completion by November, 1992, the Longhouse will welcome representatives
from around the world at a grand opening planned for May, 1993.
Verna J. Kirkness, director of the First Nations House of Learning, when asked to
describe how the people involved with the project felt about the progress made to date
on the Longhouse site says, "We are euphoric. People at UBC, visitors to the campus-
anyone who sees it-feels tremendous excitement."
The planning process for the Longhouse was as intricate as the blueprints produced
by the architectural firm (Larry McFarland Architects Ltd.) chosen to design it.
14
UBC Alumni Chronicle, Winter 1992 The
Calling
of a
Dream
Within the cool cedar
interiors of the
Longhousethe
calling of many
dreams will sound
Kirkness, along with First Nations students, staff, their children, elders, the Musqueam
Nation and members of the advisory committees, discussed many factors before the
first log was felled: funding, design, materials, site selection and ultimate goals of the
structure.
Funding for the Longhouse received a tremendous kickstart in 1990 when philanthropist Jack Bell donated $1 million to the project. This was matched soon after by Bill
and June Bellman, bringing the funding near to the half-way mark of the Longhouse's
$4.9-million projected cost. The government of BC, as part of UBC's World of Opportunity campaign, matched the contributions made by Bell and the Bellmans. As well, UBC
alumni, faculty and staff, churches, foundations, tribal councils and bands and many
individuals gave to the fund.
Traditional values and beliefs of the particular First Nations involved in this project
underscored all final decisions of planning and building, and the House of Learning
recognized UBC lands as the traditional territory of the Musqueam Nation. As a gesture
of respect to the Musqueam, the Longhouse is being constructed in the Coast Salish
style and is built on a true North/South orientation. One feature of this plan is a
ceremonial entry, facing east to the rising sun.
The Longhouse is constructed almost entirely from red cedar. Columns two feet in
diameter hold up the 26' x 2' cross structural beams enclosing 22,000 square feet. In
earlier times, straight-grained cedar was abundant and grew to heights of 200 feet. But
now, finding the 240 logs to make up the main roof and walls meant weeks of searching along B.C.'s coast.
One of the most spectacular features of the Longhouse is its roof sheathed in
copper. A traditional symbol of wealth and prestige to some West Coast tribes, copper
also serves the practical purpose of easy water run-off. The shape of the roof resembles the outstretched wings of an eagle.
Equally impressive are the four house posts and two roof beams carved by Northwest Coast artists. The posts are free-standing, allowing for carvings in the round.
Response to the carving program, organized by Bill McLennan of UBC's Museum of
Anthropology, was remarkable both for the number and quality of the submissions.
Elders Minnie Croft (Haida), Vince Stogan (Musqueam), Dominic Point (Musqueam), and
Simon Baker (Squamish) made the final selections, based on their commitment to
provide "the broadest representation they could from the coastal groups that used
massive carving as art forms." The artists commissioned to carve house posts were:
Susan Point, Musqueam; Lyle Wilson, Haisla; Walter Harris and his son Rodney, Gitksan;
Ken McNeil, Tahltan/Tlingit/Nisga'a; and Stan Bevan, Tahltan/Tlingit/Tsimshian. Don
Yeoman, a Haida artist from Masset, carved the beam ends.
When it opens, the Longhouse will have a student services area, an Elder's Place,
daycare facilities, student and staff lounge, student union area, food services, two
artists' studios, a Great Hall and a retail outlet for First Nations artwork. There will be a
computer room, seminar rooms, research offices and a resource centre and library.
Contrasting these modern features is the kekuli house, built separate from the
Longhouse into the side of a hill. Kekuli, the Chinook word for pit house, was a winter
dwelling used by the Interior Salish. In this incarnation, the kekuli will house the library
and resource centre. A waterfall will be created between the kekuli and the Longhouse.
Also planned is the Sacred Circle, a circular structure designed for spiritual sanctuary and reflection. The Sacred Circle has a firepit and is surrounded by tiered benches.
Administrative offices for the House of Learning are housed in the Longhouse. At
present there are four programs associated with the House of Learning, in conjunction
with UBC faculties: NITEP, Native Indian Teacher Education Program (Faculty of Education); Ts"kel Program (Faculty of Education, and Faculty of Graduate Studies); The
Native Law Program (Faculty of Law); and First Nations Health Care Professions Program (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and House of Learning.)
Given the choice of five sites at UBC, organizers chose the site on West Mall, north
of the Ponderosa Restaurant. This site met most of the criteria outlined by the cornmit-
UBC Alumni Chronicle, Winter 1992
15 tees - exposure to the sun, a tranquil
atmosphere, a convenient and accessible
location - and it also revealed some
unexpected features.
The most interesting of these was the
discovery that the Longhouse would be
erected on the site of the original campus
arboretum. In 1925, a formal garden was
planted at the site; in 1966, a parking lot
covered many of the carefully selected
plants. Fortunately, many examples of
uncommon plant species still exist, and
more than 48 major tree specimens. Long
before the sod turning ceremony in May
1991, it was obvious to planners and
One of the most
spectacular features of
the Longhouse is its roof
sheathed in copper
builders alike that they had discovered a
most unusual site.
Both the House of Learning and the
administration of UBC hope that the four
primary goals of the House of Learning -
more native students in all faculties,
more relevant course content, more
native leadership on campus, and more
original academic research - will result
from the creation of the Longhouse.
While the Longhouse is primarily intended as a "home away from home" for
First Nations students, its doors are open
to all UBC students and visitors.
As a symbol, the Longhouse sweeps
one copper wing towards the past, to a
fully developed native culture which
existed in B.C. more than 10,000 years
ago, and another wing towards the future,
where First Nations students blend
academic study with the practice of
individual traditional values. Within the
cool cedar interiors of the Longhouse the
calling of many dreams will sound.*'

Association in

(Revisited)
T,
he university's External Affairs division manages how the
university relates to the community in several key areas. It is
made up of four separate offices: Development, which coordinates fundraising; Ceremonies and Community Relations, which
includes media relations, events and ceremonial functions;
Financial Administration, which includes records; and Government Relations. The Alumni Association, because it provides
programs that interact with all those areas, works closely with
External Affairs units to deliver services that benefit its members and the university.
The recent review of the relationship between the Association
and the university focused on how well the Association services,
as delivered, conform to the overall goals of the university as
expressed in David Strangway's Mission Statement (summarized
in the Fall, 1988 issue of The Chronicle). Talks over the past few
years resulted in a series of documents (The Memorandum of
Agreement and the Directional Plan) that, ultimately, led to a
new structure of linkage between the Association staff and
volunteers and staff at other External Affairs departments. The
purpose of this structure is to make programs more relevant to
the university and to members, eliminate duplication of effort
and expand the base number of alumni who participate in
Association activities.
A
Working
Relationship
Evolves
The Une of reporting does not change: Alumni staff report to
the executive director who reports to the Association's president.
Links between External Affairs and the Association are formalized through the planning and goal setting exercises done
annually with External Affairs, and by day-to-day contact. The
executive director
maintains constant
contact at the management level with
other directors in the
division, and with the
vice president,
External Affairs.
The new structure
allows staff and
volunteers the
opportunity to deliver
services that have
maximum relevance
to members, while
supporting UBC's
long-term goals. In
this way, our commitment to you and the
university is maintained.

DTHLCTCS
Bobby was a popular student in the late
'20s and early '30s. He died of rheumatic
fever in 1935 at the age of 24. He was a
great track man and rugby player, and he is
still fondly remembered today by his contemporaries and through the Bobby Caul
Award, the most prestigious of UBC's awards
available to male athletes.
CC. "Geh" Ternan
One of the UBC rugby greats. He was a
leader of UBC's early rugby teams (1918-
24), and was a hockey and soccer player. In
1 924 he received a special trophy for being
UBC's greatest athlete.
Howie ITIcPhee
McPhee, while a student at UBC, was Canadian sprint champion and Olympian in 1936,
and some say he is UBC's all time outstanding sprinter. He was also a star UBC rugby
player during the late '30s, and used his
speed to great advantage. He died suddenly of cancer in 1 940, but is remembered
through rugby's prestigious Howie McPhee
trophy.
Herb Capozzi
One of the greats of UBC football, Herb
played professionally in Canada with an
offer to play in the NFL. He also played
standout basketball on campus. He followed his years at UBC with a rich contribution to the community in business, sports
and politics.
Gordon "Cokie" Shields
An amazing UBC athlete. From 1923 to
1 930 Shields was a campus, provincial and
national star in tennis, track and field,
football, rugby, soccer and badminton. He
represented the West at Forest Hills in
tennis, and he held a football record that
lasted 56 years. In 1927 he was UBC's
number one man in three field events.

URBAN SNOW
George Bowering
Urban Snow, by George Bowering
BA'60, MA'63 (Talonbooks, $12.95), is a
rich book. I took it on vacation, from tent
to folding chair, down to the dock,
savouring it poem by poem. Ones like
"Silver in the Silver Sun," written for John
Newlove, are infuriating for their
preening: "He has taught me all I knew
about poetry, but I always knew it before
he did ... I always liked writing his poems
and could hardly wait for them to be
published so I could read them for the
first time."
Fortunately, Bowering is enough of a
master to transcend his tendency to refer
to himself constantly. I picture historians
20 centuries from now able to recreate
the feel of life in our time through the
homey details Bowering uses, things we
almost don't see for their ubiquity:
baseball, kids playing, parks. The sheer
quality of his imagination, the lazy
inversion of the expected, is sumptuous.
"Music in the Park" is, for me, the high
point of the book. At 18 pages, it's long
enough to allow the pile-up of images
that Bowering uses so effectively to come
to a succulent culmination.
This is not to say that Bowering
doesn't fall off the edge sometimes.
There are slight poems here, like "First
Born" and "Commonwealth Conference,"
that he is able to toss off all too easily.
What redeems the writing is how the
poems invite us in, the qualities of
tenderness that sneak in. Even people
(like me) who couldn't care less about
baseball, will be seduced.
In Learning to Breathe, by Richard
Stevenson MFA'84 (Cacanadadada, paper,
unpriced), the poet examines male
violence, torture, tenderness and humour.
He speaks of removing "the implants of
forty years of male rage." Unfortunately,
in poems such as "The Clifford Olson
Killings," the horrors he assembles take
on too unbearable a weight, and the
poems topple into stupefaction (how
could he?) and gross details. Stevenson is
more successful with restrained lines like,
In a park in your neighbourhood
children slide like little gumdrops out
of their pants.
Big boys you know by name
hold them by their belt loops,
dump them onto the ground.
Poems like "Telefomin Trousers" are
very funny. They have just the right kind
of irreverence toward "... members/that
long to poke their heads/over waistbands
like Kilroys/with wide eyes and little 'o'
mouths." And then there's "Condom
Tales," which starts off, "Times were so
tough West used to wash out his
condoms with a toothbrush, hang them
right there on the clothesline ..."
Sometimes the humour gets prosy and
too topical. When speaking of skulls in
the killing fields of Uganda he writes, "We
in the West can look at them/and wonder
where the yellow went,/if they brushed
their teeth with Pepsodent." The work is
too good to belittle itself like that.
There are also some wonderfully
tender pieces here for Stevenson's
children. The whole book is a mixture of
well-crafted poems which, for me, sit
strangely with one another.
20
UBC Alumni Chronicle, Winter 1992 Fadimatu, by Jennifer Mitton MFA'88
(Goose Lane, paper, unpriced), is an
extraordinary first novel. The effect is like
gulping a plain glass of water and finding
out half-way through that what you're
sloshing down is aquavit. Mitton's control
over her material is so absolute it would
do credit to a far more experienced
writer. Mitton, who has lived and taught
in Nigeria, has written the story of a
young woman too intelligent and
questioning to function easily in the
rigidly patriarchal society into which she is
born. I found it heart-breaking. Fadimatu,
however, survives snubs and assaults on
her dignity as a woman with the same
qualities running water displays; when
blocked in one direction, she tries
something else.
Some of the chapters have been
published as stories, but the intricacy and
detail resonate from previous material as
the book progresses. The dialogue, often
in pidgin English, the tribal tensions
among the Hausa, Bachama, Ibo, and Tiv,
are all handled with limpid authority.
The women's strength, their humour,
and by and large their support of one
another, is notable. There is, however, a
complete lack of sympathetic male
characters. Every one is a feminist's
nightmare. Fadimatu's husband, given the
context of his culture and his other two
wives, seems like a fairly likeable sort, but
turns out to be only interested in his
power over her. Power misused,
corruption, and moral bankruptcy stalk the
book as tenaciously as fresh grief.
I am grateful the author gave Fadimatu
an out.
The Angel of Irrational Numbers, by
Glen Downie MFA'80, BSW81 (Porcepic
Books, $9.95), presents smouldering
poems with no easy answers. This book
gives us a lonely world. Television, angels
and death figure largely here, and the
skeptic's struggle with spirituality.
Downie's angels have "broken wings,"
they are "burly angels with birthmarks,
tattoos, lunchbuckets." He wants "to bring
to God's notice the lives of his suffering
people," but the real transformative power
over pain in these poems appears to be
art, not the kingdom of spirit.
Downie uses images to stir a sense of
brooding anxiety. In "The Steps," the
narrator returns home and,
... a black stone by your gate becomes
the cat, all tucked under itself
like a dark-baked loaf. Hearing you,
the stone opens its yellow eyes..
... The house feels clenched
in its darkness. Perhaps
someone no longer loves you ...
At his best, Downie doles his language
out in perfect spare phrases like, "A fat
wallet/is a well-fed dog; it licks your hand
/when you stroke it." Some of the shorter
poems like "Laurie and Bill" are obscure,
and others, like "The Hands of the Saints"
are slight. No matter. A.E. Houseman says
about poetry, "Experience has taught me,
when I am shaving of a morning, to keep
watch over my thoughts, because if a line
of poetry strays into my memory, my skin
bristles so that the razor ceases to act
..." This is the kind of major poetry
Downie writes.*'

Wood
BASc(Nurs)'23
Beatrice Fordham Johnson Wood died in
Vancouver this summer. She entered UBC's
department of Nursing in 1919, the year it
was formed. She graduated in 1923, one ofthe
first three to receive such a degree in the entire
British Empire.
She was born in Vancouver on November 29, 1899 to a prominent
BC family. Her father was president of BC Sugar, and served as lieutenant-
governor of BC.
She began her schooling in Fiji on a sugar plantation, then moved
to Vancouver and Crofton House until she graduated at age 16. She took
some courses at UBC and at Finch Junior College in New York, where she
took drama classes. She wanted to enter medical school, but on her return
to Vancouver entered the new nursing program at UBC instead.
While at UBC she joined the Players' Club and remained active during
her years in residence at Vancouver General. She travelled around the
province with the club during its summer circuits and met professor
Frederick Gordon "Freddy" Wood, her future husband. He directed her in
a performance of Shaw's "You Never Can Tell."
She and her nursing classmates took part in the Great Trek. They carried
a banner proudly proclaiming, "We are the first three women in the British
Empire to get degrees in nursing."
In 1 922 she took over for the summer as head ofthe operating room
for eye, ear, nose and throat surgery at VGH, but soon took a job in public
health nursing with the Victorian Order of Nurses in Montreal. During her
stay in Montreal, she made several trips to New York to attend the theatre.
Freddy Wood, with whom she corresponded, encouraged her to attend some
of New York's avant garde theatres.
She returned to Vancouver in 1924 and became nurse in charge of
emergency at VGH until her marriage to Freddy Wood in 1925. As was typical
of women of her era, she quit her job when she married but continued
to practice her nursing through volunteer work at VGH and with the Women's
Auxiliary to the hospital. During WWII, she worked with the Red Cross in
Vancouver.
She continued her participation in theatre and provided encouragement
to the Players' Club all her life. She was a patron ofthe Freddy Wood Theatre.
She is survived by her three children: Helen, William and Angela
and six grandchildren, one of whom followed her grandmother's
footsteps in a nursing career.

UBC Alumni Chronicle, Winter 1992 Trekkers Serves It Up With Style
Don't come all the way up to
UBC to visit the newest Food
Services site, Trekkers, if
you're looking for a modern
version ofthe Bus Stop Cafe.
The new eatery is on the
ground floor ofthe David Lam
Management Centre, right
where the Bus Stop used to
be, but there's nothing left of
Trebl
the new place, Trekkers, is
the name, a reference to the
Great Trek of 1 922. There are
two sections, Express and
Trekkers dining room. Express
is fast food, a miniature
version ofthe new Subway
service in the Student Union
Building. The food is standard
Food Service quality, fast and
the old place.
Gone is the winding
counter where waitresses
swooped up and down the
gutters to take your order and
spin back plates of grilled
cheese sandwiches and chips.
Gone is the anonymous
familiarity of touching elbows
with strangers, passing the
salt and discussing the issues
ofthe day.
Gone too are the waitresses in '50s uniforms, who
rushed around briskly and
efficiently to do what they
were supposed to do: bring
food. Some became friends
over the years, but friendship
wasn't their job. Getting you
fed quickly was the point and
that's what they did. The food
was never very good, even by
classic diner standards, but it
got there hot and on time. The
memories we share about the
Bus Stop have more to do with
style than gormandising, and
those memories will live
forever.
The only thing old about
filling, with good specialities
like pizza and sandwiches,
but the eating area is awkward and stiff. The tables and
chairs seem designed to be
uncomfortable, encouraging
you to eat and get the heck
out. Its strength is as a takeout service.
Trekkers, the dining room,
is another story altogether.
There has been an effort to do
something different with this
service, and, for the most
part, it succeeds. The ambience is very '90s with forest
green accents, glass bricks,
huge potted plants, skylights
and service by people trained
in the best Super Host style.
The menu is eclectic, with
snacks for light lunchers
(dainty salads, chicken wings
and nachos) and more ample
fare for power eaters (hearty
hamburgers, sandwiches and
specials).
At a recent visit my dining
companion, Ms. Paladar,
grazed on potato skins and
salsa (the skins were tasty but
soggy and the salsa a bit
mild), while I tried an old Bus
Stop favourite, Beef Dip. It
came with a generous portion
of juicy beef, but the bread
was gummy and the dip (like
the dip at Bus Stop), was too
strong. Reports from other
diners were much the same:
the food is reasonable but not
outstanding. No
one familiar with
Food Services fare
will find any real
surprises at
Trekkers or the
Express, and while
h you can get
things at Trekkers
you can't get
elsewhere, it's
unmistakeably
"Food Services."
The crowd at Trekkers is
unlike the crowd at other
outlets. If the Faculty Club
dining room is UBC's class
venue, then Trekkers takes
number two spot. There are
certainly plenty of students
chowing down, but most
patrons there during the two
hours either side of noon are
clearly staff or faculty types.
Which is OK. There has
never really been a "nice"
restaurant at UBC for that
group, (since not everyone
can be or wants to be a
member of the FC), and
Trekkers is bound to get trade
from people who would
otherwise go off campus.
We predict Trekkers will
become a special place on
campus. For all its crowded
hustle and bustle, it does
have a sense of intimacy and
its very own sense of place,
and the food will improve as
the kitchen breaks in.
The Bus Stop is gone.
Welcome to Trekkers. CP
Another Food
Services
Story
When I attended UBC in
1967,1 worked part-time
in the Place Vanier
kitchen, bussing trays. I
knew a dog who made a
lot of friends in the
architectural studio in
Lasserre and accompanied us to Place Vanier
for dinner. He was a black
lab named Habakkuk.
One evening as I
scraped unusually large
numbers of uneaten
Salisbury steaks into the
garbage, I heard a commotion in the dining hall.
Looking up, I saw
Habakkuk winding
through the tables wagging his tail and sniffing
the air as he made his
way to the bussing window. He looked expectantly up at me. As everyone in the room watched,
I tossed him an uneaten
steak. Habakkuk caught
the steak, laid it down,
sniffed it, then turned
and walked out, leaving
the Food Services special
Salisbury steak, twice
rejected, lying stiffly on
the floor.

UBC Alumni Chronicle, Winter 1992 There's more than meets the eye...
T T7"7" ith the building of Shell's
I JL / Brockville Lubricants Plant in
f V Ontario, an exciting new vision
is taking shape.
From the start, our new lubricants plant has been designed with the
environment in mind. In building this
world-scale facility, we're doing our
best to meet our commitment to the
environment.
It's just good business.
In better managing land and
water use and air emissions
now, we're minimizing the
need for costly clean-ups in
the future. By using less packaging
and recycled plastics in our bottles
(made from 50 per cent post-consumer recycled plastic), we're reducing waste and becoming more
efficient.
At Shell, there's more to our
environmental commitment than
meets the eye. And in planning for
the future, we're showing
good business sense today.
For more information
on our operations please
call the Shell Helps Centre
at 1-800-661-1600.
